Hello, I am new here. I am not new to setting up forums, but in the past have used vBulletin, and it has been YEARS -- so bear with me, I am very rusty! I DID do a ton of manual searching through the forums here, and looked via a menagerie of search words... I have finally given up, broken down, and just creating this topic; which I am SURE has probably been asked many a time, but for some reason I cannot seem to find it, or find it in a way I understand "HOW TO." So obviously I have a new forum I am trying to get off the ground, and I have that tiny little Invision Board Icon. ![]() In my past forums, I had and still do have a friend that can create a nice banner/header for me. But have no idea what to tell her for sizing. I want it to fit the width of the forum and replace that entire blue top. But I also want it to be "thicker" meaning not as skinny depth wise... does that make any sense? For Invision Boards, on my end, once I have the graphic... I ASSUME I place it under Skinning & Styles>Images>Logo I put the code there is all?Right now the code for that logo is just: <img src='http://i1.ifrm.com/style_images/<#IMG_DIR#>/logo4.gif' alt='' border='0' /> Can anyone help guide me right on this? |

Yes, that textarea is what controls the boards logo. You can either replace the entire HTML with the image URL or just replace the URL inside the HTML. To make the logo image fit the container it is within, add this to your CSS (Manage Style Sheets): Change the number sign (#) to the height of your logo image, in pixels. Using the above CSS change may cause distortion. Here's an example: http://i.imgur.com/BFT7fLP.png If you wanted it to have good quality no matter what resolution is being used you'll want to use a CSS repeating background image that can repeat behind the image to make it look as if it's a part of the image. You may have to 3-piece the image depending on how it's styled. |
